Looks like he's coming back.
But you know that ankle's gonna be sore tomorrow.

Motherfucker I'm finally eliminated from the possibility of winning my bracket. Also this is a shit championship. It's amazing Izzo will probably never win another championship

You mean never win a second right? He won a championship at MSU in 2000.
Yeah meant another one despite how he is always on the cusp
I got 3 out of the 4 final four teams right, and now I have the correct championship game in my bracket. I feel pretty good about that. I have Virginia winning it all but I hope Tech wins. My final score prediction of it being 68-65 is definitely going to be wrong.
Texas Tech vs. Virginia for the National Championship might be intriguing. Someone is gonna win their first ever championship in Men's Basketball.
it will be slow, but it's not like these teams are horrible on offense. every possession will just be a battle of execution. should be fun.
Well, there was this no call that caused the double dribble:

I need see it in motion as having a finger or hand on a jersey is not necessarily a foul.
And that's the problem, you call these games in real time. The double dribble was an obscure rule no one caught, and that above was potentially a no-call too. Ty's wrist was also apparently grabbed in that replay too. The refs didn't have the benefit of replay at that moment, and the 3 point foul was a lot more apparent.
Auburn was trying to foul which is why he grabbed the jersey.

It's no use. We're officially in the villain role lol.
If we lose, it's deserved. If we win, there's apparently an asterisk next to it.
There was also this no-call. It's a slippery slope to blame one single call because then you wonder how many wrong calls there were. It's part of the game.

I'm just ready for the redemption arc to be complete, villains or not!
I didn't catch the ending. Was the jersey grab under a certain time limit where it's reviewable?
I agree the 3 PT foul was obvious.
It was right at the end of the game - right before the double dribble.
I just meant no one caught either to think to call it/review it if it was possible.
I can't find video of it, but here's another look at it before he grabs the jersey:

Here's a video of it:

Considering they call the jersey grab the second time after the double dribble, then they would have called the first time had they not missed it. So it was clearly a foul before the double dribble.
Regardless, and to be honest, I thought UVA lost this due to a lot of missed FTs. If they had made their FTs, this wouldn't even be a thing. I'm glad they survived, but I was going to blame their (UVA's) loss on that. You can't miss FTs, and because UVA did they got in trouble.

Just some observations: Jerome lost the ball before the defender touched him. It hit his foot before he was grabbed. And that grab was weak.
Virginia deserved to win. The end of that game was poorly officiated as most are. At the end of games like that when teams are trying to foul, sometimes they blow the whistle early and sometimes they swallow the whistle when a defender intentionally fouls someone and almost forces a turnover. The problem is the consistency, you never know how it will be called and the refs have too much control over these high stakes games.
Hypothetical: if they had the ability to go back and review that play and could retroactively make any call, that would have been a turnover.
edit: I'm not trying to argue over it or anything. I'm a UK fan so I have no dogs in the fight, just contributing my basketball opinion.
As someone who has ref'd (obviously not at this level) I totally see how the double dribble call was missed. You're watching body and hand contact primarily, and anticipating a likely foul. I also think the nonchalance with which Jerome dribbled again immediately probably reinforced the ref's no-call in a way.
It's really tough, but I'm not gonna kill the ref for this one.

I was also reading where double dribbles are generally rarely called too.
Every game I've seen, there's always something the team could have done to not be in a position relying on one or two calls.
In UVA's case - and speaking as a Virginia fan - I was about to blame the game on Virginia going 3 for 9 with their FTs (before Kyle's own FTs) and for Jerome's fourth foul that was done out of frustration.

smh at this game not starting until 930 and making us all (on the east coast) stay up till midnight trying not to fall asleep during this expected snooze fest.
Seriously...like that o/u Vegas line of 119.5 seems so tempting right!?
